Fuck man. RIP to those who passed away from this mindless violence. I hope those 16 injured pull through.
Because our media has a standard and doesn't just report wild speculation. When the police made a statement they reported it. They were not in any way late.
Awful. Glad they got the guy alive, no easy way out for him.
(I guess this COULD still be unintentional, but that's looking very unlikely.)

25+ people were hit along the sidewalk over several blocks. The driver was apprehended and wasn't having a heart-attack or anything like that, so it's looking like it was on purpose.
So how did the other source get 9 people killed before everyone else? They got it from the hospital. Which is the best source.
I bet there were toddlers in the list of injuries/casualties from the eyewitness saying baby strollers were rammed.
FUCK MAN, this is so heartbreaking. Innocent children, man... :(

This is awful. Haven't been able to work since the news broke. Just hoping nobody I know is affected here and am praying for those whom have lost friends/family etc.
Nonsense, victims could be in transit or spread out through several hospitals. Staff at a hospital will focus on one patient at a time, they dont give a shit about the running tally or providing information to the public. A bunch of reporters hassling medical staff is the last thing we need.
It's better to wait and get confirmed numbers from the appropriate authorities. There are too many rumours that get spread around in events like this, which becomes ammo for conspiracy theorists.
They probably had a source in the hospital who gave them the number off the record. No way the hospital would report that data b/c of privacy laws. Chances are no other outlets had a sources there so they couldn't get independent confirmation. It's one outlet going out on a limb, the other outlets didn't want to jump.
Same here man, literally just down the road from work.
I'm feeling numb and not sure how to process this.
I was bombarded by calls today asking if I was okay. I usually take a stroll along that strip on my lunch break. Had no idea the seriousness of the matter until I logged back in at the office.
It's actually in Charlevoix, Quebec. But it is some kind of coincidence this happened at the same time.
Those usually get protests, this would be extreme beyond words as reaction to that meeting
There is a G7 security meeting taking place in Toronto, they keep mentioning Goodale being in town for it

UofT main campus is quite far from Yonge and Finch, they'd be unrelated.
